The story of the national Laundry Love movement began when T-Bone, (Eric), a homeless man living in Ventura California was asked a question: “How can we come into your life in a meaningful way?” His response was honest and practical. "If I had clean clothes, people would treat me like a human being."

Laundry Love Fort Worth began when founder, Kelli, and her neighbor, Jayne, a school teacher had a conversation about a student in Jayne’s class being bullied because she wore the same clothes to school everyday. From this conversation, the two women realized the need in their community for families and individuals to have a service to provide the ability of having clean clothes and Laundry Love Fort Worth was born.

Each event brings us closer to people from our community who fight many battles alone. We get a chance to connect with them, listen to them, and make them feel valued and loved. The inspiring personalities, courageous stories, and hearts full of love motivate us to do more. In addition to free laundry assistance, we spread kindness and create an atmosphere of fellowship where strangers become friends. We offer free children’s activities in our Kids Club area. We provide a light meal, as well as snacks and drinks. At each event, our client’s worth and dignity are acknowledged and celebrated in a stress-free environment. It is a pleasure bringing joy to their lives.
